TiIiNKSG/VlNG.—Next Thursday has been
set apart by the executive of this State as a
day of Thanksgiving and Praise to the giv
er oral/ good fur the many blessings we have
enjoyed during the past year, and. it is to be
hoped that the recommendation of the Gov
ernor will be properly observed, and that
business will be generally suspended on that
4lay.. As gu.:0.1 and loyal citizens, we owe
this respect to the "powers that be," but
above all as a manifestation of uur gratitude
to Him, "in whom we live mid move and
bare our being."

I'4PortTA NT FROM ENGLAND.—Pri rate let
ter:4 received from the Hon. George M. Dal-
Ins, United States Minister to the Court of
St. James, by his
.eonfitlential ft:ends, con
vey the importan t intelligence that he has
succeeded in negotiating a treaty between
the Lruited States and England, which cov
ers and settles all the points in dispute be
tween the two countries. It has been the
e treest desire of President Pierce and Sec
retary Marcy to accomplish this difficult
task before retiring from office, so that all
possible troubles might be smoothed away
for the incoming administration. The in
strurtions given to Mr. D.dlas when he en
tered upon hit mission, have been zealously
acted up to by him, and tie result has been
most happy, a , above notel.
DV-The Telegraph line from Nova Scotia
across the Gulf of St. Lawrence and the Isl
and of New Foundland to St. John, on the
coast of the latter, Lein; at length completed,
laid, and in working order, me , ,sages have
been successfully transmittted over the
whole line from New York to St. John and
Lack. The Transatlantic Telegraph Com
pany has been organized in London, hall
the stock taken, and contracts made for o.e
completion of the line across the Atlantic
next summer.
lIES-The betting on Kentucky, on the
Presidential election, it is stated has been
very heavy. The Cincinnati Commercial
says that it knows many instances of bets of
extraordinary magnitude. Lands, negroes,
cash, every thing that is property in Ken
tucky, has been staked throughout the State.
Hundreds of men are doubtless ruined, and
thousands sorely impoveri,hed, the State
having gone Democratic. When will men
be done with this foolish practice of betting
on elections?

Ode fine morning when Franklin vras
busy preparing h•.s paper for the press, a
lounger stepped into the store, and spent an
hour or wore iii looking over the hooks, etc.,
and finally taking one in his hand, asked
the price.
"One dollar," W 8.4 the answer.
"Oac dollar," said the lounger; "can't
you take any less that?"
No, indeed; one dollar is the price."
Another hour had nearly paszed, when
the lounger asked:
"14 Mr. Franklin at home?"
"Yes, he i, in the printing office."
"I want to see him." , tnid the lounger
The shop-boy immodintely informed, .Ir.
Franklin that a gentleman was in the store

"One dollar and a quarter! Why, your
young man asked ooh a dollar."
"True," said Franklin, "and I could have
better afforded to hoe e taken a dollar th o
than to have been taken out of my otlice."
The lounger seemed surprise 1, and wish

"Come, Mr. Franklin, tell me What is the
lowest you can take tur it.''
"Oae dollar and a half."
"A dollar and a half! Why, you ofrered

"Yes, said Franklin, and I had better

The lounger paid down the price, and

The ITerald says, what will surprise most
people, that there ;tre comparatively few fam

that the principal merchants arc Missou

It seems that Johnson sold a lot of rags to
Mr. Pelen, and in the course of an hour
after he left the store it was discovered that
the bundle of rags was on fire, having been
ignited on the inside, as is supposed, by some
new torpedo or spontaneous combustion de

from the patent office. Johnson alleges that
he obtained the rags from Hotly, which she
admits, but both deny all knowledge of any

AN APPALLING Pecr.—The Irish census
tables Just published, report that, in one
year, there were C 1,7 1 .5 deaths from starya
tion.
DEATH OF JOHN X, CLAYTON
The Telegraph on Monday announced the
death of this distinguished oitizen of Dela
ware. Mr. Clayton was well known over
the country, having filled with ability sev
eral elevated and distinguished public trusts.
Ile was elected to the Senate IA the Uni
ted States in 1829, and retained his seat un
til 1834, He retired from the Senate to ac
cept the position of Chief Justice of Dela
ware, •
13 -
lie remained, webelleve, upon the bench
in Delaware for nearly ten years. In this
position he displayed eminent legal learning,
and achieved a large reputation as a sound
jurist. In 1845, he was again returned to
the Senate, and tool: a leading part in the
discussions of that body. Upon the Oregon
question—upon the various propositions for
the solution of the diffmulties arising out of
the acquisition of now territory, by the trea
ty. of Gaudaloupe llidalgo—he was recog
nized as a Whig leader, the second in corn
wand of that party in the Senate under Mr.
Webster.
When Gen. Taylor was nominated, he
made the speech which was the key-note of
the campaign of 1848 and when the old hero
came in power he appointed him to the high
est position in his Cabinet. This he filled
with distinguished ability until the death of
Taylor in July, 1850. Upon the inaugura
tion of Mr. Fill more he retired, and remain
ed a private citizen until he was re-elected
to the Senate in 1852.
In social life he was eminent for his easy
and fascinating conversational powers, and
his pleasant, companionable geniality. In
his profession of the law, he was not only a
great lawyer hut a most finished and con
vincing advocate. Perhaps the two cases,
in which he won bis highest reputation,
were those of Ramie] vs. the Chesapeake
and Delaware Canal Company, and the cel
ebrated Pea• Patch case. In the former, he
recovered for the plaintiff a verdict of a quar
ter of a million of dollars; in the latter, he
successfully defended the title of Delaware
to this Island.
With a reputation rather of the past than
of the present—with, at least, no sincere sym
pathy for, or attachment to, any existing
party organization—he has for some time
been isolated and without strong party affil
iations. That the nation will both feel and
sincerely regret his loss none can deny.—
His great talents, his devotion to the whole
country, his vast experience, might have
been of infinite use in stormy and troubluus
times.
Ile is almost the last of that race of great
spirits which led the councils of the nation,
and created and directed the public policy
thirty years ago. Benton, Everett and Crit
tenden yet remain; but ere long, they, too,
must pass away. They are the last stars in

On the Pacific Railroad Question.
53 77 130 194
WHEATLAND, (near Lancaster,) Pa.
September 17, 1536.
_
To B. F. WASHINGTON, Esq., Chairman of
the Democratic State Central Committee of
California—Sir: I have received numerous
communications from sources in California
entitled to high regard, in reference to the
proposed Pacific Railroad. As it would be
impossible for me to answer them all, I deem
it most proper and respectful to address you
a general answer in your official capacity.
In performing this duty to the citizens of
California, I net in perfect consistency with
the self-imposed restriction contained in my
letter accepting the nomination fur the Pres
idency, not to answer interrogations raising
new and different issues front those present
ed by the Cincinnati Convention, because
that Convention has itself adopted a resolu
tion in favor of the great work.
I then desire to state. briefly, that con
curring with the Convention, I am decidedly
favorable to the construction of the P.milic
Railroad; and I derive the authority to do
this from the constitutional power "to de
clare war," and the constitutional duty "to
repel invasions." In my judgment, Con
gress possesses the same power to make ap
propriations for the construction of this road,
strictly fur the purpose of national defence,
that it has to erect fortifications at the
mouth of the harbor of San Francisco. In
deed the necessity, with a view to repel fur
-1 eign invasion from California, is as great in
the one case as in the other. Neither will
there be danger from the precedent, fur it is
almost impossible to conceive that any case
attended by such extraordinary and unpre
cedented circumstances can never again oc
cur in our history. Yours, very respectfully,
BUCLIAIs:AN.
r7:TTr ' MgO : IIrISN7IMI
This branch of business is advancing with
astonishing rapidity, so much so, indeed, as
to offer inventive capacity large inducements
for supplying a material which shall entire
ly substitute the use of rags as a staple ne
cessity. Several experiments have already
been made, and with sufficient success to
encatrage a further prosecution of like ef
forts, by which partioular woods have been
brought into practical requisition, the texture
of the paper thus produced being only mate
rially distinguishable from that of the ordi
nary fabric by its stiffer consistency.
Some idea may be firmed of the extent of
this business by the fact that there are now
7.h) paper mills in the United States, with
2000 engines constantly in operation. Thee
mills produced lust year, 270,1 00,000 pounds
of paper, and as a pound and a quarter of
rags were required far Nadi pound of paper,
400,000,000 pounds of the raw material
were therefore consumed in this way, sup
plied from the United States and the conti
nent of I:tir(2pe. . .
The p printing press, in its various ramifica
tions, is thus producing a practical revolution
in an important branch of trade. by a con
sumption which is constantly advancing be
yond the supply of the substance necessary
for manufacturing purposes. Curious reflec
tions are suggested, when the mind is
brought to contemplate the plain fact, that
the means by which intelligence is flashed
through the world, and man is enlightened
as to his sense of moral, material, and polit
ician duty is now actually dependent upon
the aggregate of those rags, which lie con
temptuously discards as useless and offen
site.
Paoli OREGON.—The Indian troubles in
this territory have recently been renewed,
and threaten to become more serious and ex
tensive than ever before. Governor Stevens,
who had advanced into the Walla Walla
country, for the purpose of negotiating a
general pence with all the tribes in that
quarter, had been obliged to vacate the same,
together with such tutted States troops as
had accompanied him. The entire country
to the North and East of John Day's River,
was at last accounts in the possession of
the savages, numbering about three thou
sand, many of whom were armed with guns.
Col. Steptee had come into the Danes with
his command, abandoning the whole coun
try above to the Indians, except one block
house held by fifty men, whom he intended
to relieve as soon as he could procure forage.
Governor Stevens had addrest,ed the people
of Portland, and stated that the Indians had
acted faithless in all their transactions with
the whites, that nothing could satisfy them
but an unconditional surrender of the en
tire country to the east side of the Dalles,
and that there remained only a prospect of
another general war with all the tribes in
that quarter.
,e-Every reader will appreciate the sen
timent of the following piece of poetry.—
We have not the author's name, or it would
be given:
NOVEMBER.
The leaves fall fast as flakes of scow,
Alas! we mourn them dying;
They sigh beneath our every tread,
In woods and by-paths lying.
Clouds hurry-o'er the face al Leaven,
The wail of winds is deeper,
The harvest of the year has come,
November is she reaper.
We hear without the last farewell
Of birds to south lauds going,
And sigh Lack a.nswars from our hearts,
As shrinking from the knowing
Of all that follows on the track
Of leaves and birds departed;
And cant, seems changed, as if e'en she
Were growing weary-hearted.
Ah! welbagley, all things must fade.
The loveliest soon as any;
The days of sunshine are the few,
The days of cloud the many!
November, dreariest month o f all,
To human hearts comes nearest,
.And sometimes reapeth mote than leaves,
In inking what is drearest.
In a quiet little village on the Western
Reserve in Ohio, says the Prescott Tran
script, there lives a man who, phisiolOgical
ly considered, is certainly one of the won
ders of the world. His joints are complete
ly ossified, turned to bone, and he is not ca
pable of making the slightest movement ex
cept alternately opening and shutting two
fingers of his right hand. His body is as
rigid as iron, and it could not be bent for
ward or backward without breaking some of
his bones. This singular process of ossifi
cation has been going on in his system for
snore than twenty years. He is now about
4G years old, and has not had the use of his
limbs, so that lie could walk, since he was
nineteen. Ossification commenced first in
his ankle, oints, gradually extending itself
through his system until he was entirely
helpless. Since that time he has been en
tirely under his mother's care, and she
' watches over him with an anxiety which on
ly a mother can feel. When about twenty
six years old, he became entirely blind from
some unknown cause, and has remained so
ever since. At about thirty, lie suffered
greatly from the toothache, and finally he
hail his teeth all extracted. A year or two
afterwards, his finger and toe nails all came
of r, and were supplied by others growing
out from his fingers and toes at right angles
and presenting the appearance of horns.
What is still more singular with regard
to his nails, if the end of the nail is cut off,
it will bleed freely. . .
Such is the condition of this remarkable
man at the present time. He has been vis
ited by a great number of scientific men, from
all parts of the world, but all have failed to
give any plausible reason of the cause of his
transformation from flesh to bone. Singu
lar as it may appear, although his
,jaw bone
is firmly set in his head, he not only talks
freely, but fluently converses with his friends
and those who visit him, on all ordinary top
ics of the day, and he shows himself well in
formed and of good mind. Ile is always
cheerful, and appears contented and happy,
and it seems probable that he will live many
years to come.
